Summary

A Turkish university is looking for research cooperation agreements and is offering research fellowships in the fields of agricultural, pharmaceutical, medical and computer sciences with researchers having technical skills for the development of new scientific methods and innovative product prototypes in the related fields. The aim is to apply for the H2020 MSCA Co-Fund program CoCirculation2.

Technical Specification or Expertise Sought

The research fellows applying for the research cooperation agreements are expected to have sufficient academic background in their related field and technical expertise to carry out research activities independently. The candidates of the fellowship program are also expected to participate in general laboratory management, training of graduate students in the project and writing scientific papers and reports.

Partner sought

Partners sought for research cooperation agreements are individuals with PhD degrees or 4 years of professional experience from academia, research organisations and industry.
The partner will be responsible from preparation of the grant applications belonging to the applicant.

Description

A Turkish university is looking for research cooperation agreements in the following topics:
1.Traditional and complementary medicine applications: medicinal plants, seed technologies, extraction of bioactive compounds, molecular biology and biotechnology, pharmaceutical formulations,
2. Renewable energy resources, forest ecology, soil&water protection
3. Composite materials, recycling of agricultural and industrial waste materials,
4. Deep learning, Quantum computing/Grover's search algorithm, DNA encryption, DNA data storage, artificial intelligence,
5. Nursing informatics, health informatics, embedded systems in biomedical device technologies
6. Other cutting edge science technologies can be offered by the candidate fellows.
The aim is to apply for a H2020 MSCA Co-Fund program called "CoCirculation2". The programme will be executed by the Science Fellowships and Grant Programmes Department (BİDEB) within Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council (TÜBİTAK) co-funded by European Commission Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Cofund program “Co-Funded Brain Circulation2 Scheme (CoCirculation2)”.
Eligibility criteria for the applicants are as follows:
They must be Experienced Researchers, i.e. researchers who, at the time of the relevant deadline for submission of proposals, are in possession of a doctoral degree or have at least four years of full-time equivalent research experience. Researchers may be of any nationality or age.
Researchers must comply with the mobility rule that applies to them, either the standard mobility rule or the flexible mobility rule.
Standard mobility rule: ERs must be non-residing in Turkey for more than 12 months in the three years prior to the relevant deadline for submission of proposals.

Career restart applicants: To benefit from the flexible mobility rule, applicants must in addition to this rule also have had a career break in research, i.e. they must not have been active in research for at least 12 months prior to the relevant deadline for the submission of proposals.

Advantages and innovations

The CoCirculation2 funding program offers fellowships to researchers willing to with the equivalent conditions of H2020 MSCA Individual Fellowships program. All fellowships must have an international component and intersectoral and interdisciplinary elements in each project are highly encouraged. 6 months of secondment to academic or non-academic institusions are possible.
The Turkish host university welcomes researchers from all disciplines. The university is an equal opportunity employer. Considering the Euro/TL currency exchange rates, the quality of life with the offered funding is more than satisfactory.
The Turkish university has a Technopark and Technology Transfer Offce (TTO) supporting industry collaborations and patent applications.

We put the right partners in touch

EEN help you find the right partner, rather than you going it alone.

Our role is to review and collate the most suitable submissions,
and then send them to the client who posted the opportunity.
We consult with you, and the client, to make the process professional and easy.

These are live opportunities. Your registration of interest on
the site is just like a professional approach to a business at a networking event.
To stand the best chance of success, make your submission really sing.
Sell why the client who posted the opportunity should work with you.
Excite them. Ask questions. Try and avoid copy and pasting words from elsewhere.

Once the client has chosen their partner, we'll introduce them
over email and keep in touch with both parties to see how it's going.
Sometimes things progress quickly. Sometimes because of changing
priorities for either party, things progress slowly, but you never
know - your next big business break could start right here.
